Year of the dog edition

A weekly newsletter of great travel reads and news by James Clark from Nomadic Notes.

This week I am in Dhaka (my first time in Bangladesh), and I will have posts on this amazing crazy city coming soon. Today is the Lunar New Year, though you wouldn’t know it here. Having been in Vietnam for a number of new years, I can’t help but observe the new year as well. So wishing you all a prosperous new year, and may the year of the dog be a good one for you.

“The planet has never been smaller – nor tourists more ubiquitous. Around 1.32 billion overseas trips were made by travellers around the world last year, up from 1.24 billion in 2017 and three times the figure of 439.5 million recorded in 1990.”
